Scooby Snacks are a fictional food item of unknown and undetermined origin. They are used as a form of incentive payment for the cartoon characters Scooby-Doo and Shaggy from the Hanna-Barbera series "Scooby-Doo" and its various spinoffs. cite episode |title=What a Night for a Knight |episodelink=List of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episodes|series=Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!|serieslink=Scooby-Doo|airdate=1969-09-13 |season=1 |number=1 |network=CBS|city=] Producer William Hanna had always imagined that a "Scooby Snack" would taste like some sort of a caramel-flavored cookie (the batter, however, is colored like brown sugar and similar in color to butterscotch), and he and Joseph Barbera had previously used the concept of a dog that goes wild for doggie treats in the "Quick Draw McGraw" series in 1959.

Warner Bros. today licenses "Scooby Snacks" as both an official brand of doggie treats and as a human-consumable cookie snack. Vanilla wafers, similar to Nilla Wafers were packaged and sold as "Scooby Snacks" in Suncoast home video stores. The official brand of dog treats is made by Snausages, a product of Del Monte Foods.
